Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

Faced with Zeng Zhengen's accusation, Pan Yang was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute it. After hearing what she said, the surrounding villagers all felt that she was right.

"Pan Yang, such a person is simply a murderer and must not be allowed to stay in our team. Otherwise, who knows when he will harm other people in the village?" A villager shouted immediately. As soon as this was said, others also echoed it.

"That's right! We can't keep him here any longer, we have to kick him out!"

"Get out! Get out of the team!"

Er Gouzi was dumbfounded. He never thought that he was just trying to steal something, but he was accused of murder and kicked out of the team. Now there were refugees everywhere. If he was kicked out, wouldn't he be dead?

"No... don't chase me away, I won't dare to do it again, please don't chase me away!" Er Gouzi begged in panic. However, the villagers didn't listen to his explanation at all, and they shouted firmly to chase him out.

Although Pan Yang felt reluctant, he could not ignore the strong opinions of the villagers. In the end, he could only look at Ergouzi helplessly with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Er Gouzi, from now on you will..." Before Pan Yang could finish, Er Gouzi threw himself on his legs and begged, "Li Zheng, please don't chase me away. I promise I will never dare to do it again. Please don't chase me away, or I will die."

Er Gouzi's fear was real. He really didn't expect such a consequence. If he knew it would happen, he would never steal.

Zeng Zhengen watched this scene quietly without interrupting. She wanted to see how Pan Yang would decide. Zeng's mother seemed impatient and said to Pan Yang, "Pan Yang, everyone in the village knows what kind of person Er Gouzi is. He hasn't changed for so many years. How could he change in a short time?"

Other villagers also echoed: "That's right, Pan Yang, we must drive him out, otherwise we will not be able to live in peace in the future."

Finally, Pan Yang closed his eyes and said firmly: "Okay, then let's do as everyone wants and kick Er Gou out of the team."

Er Gouzi was both terrified and regretful at this time, and he only wished that time could go back.

Although Er Gouzi was full of regret, it was too late. As soon as Pan Yang spoke, several villagers quickly carried him to the outskirts of the team and threw his luggage out. After dealing with Er Gouzi, everyone dispersed. Zeng's mother walked to Zeng Zhengen and asked a few questions with concern, and then Zeng Zhengen asked her to go back and rest.

After this incident, no one dared to do anything excessive in the second half of the night. As they did not get enough rest last night, they all looked a little listless when they got up the next morning. However, due to the need to escape the famine, they did not stop to rest. After a simple breakfast, the team set off again.

Left at the periphery of the team, Er Gouzi watched the team go farther and farther away, but he was powerless. Although he wanted to catch up with the team, he was beaten to a pulp by Zeng Siyuan last night, and it was difficult for him to even stand, let alone hurry.

The team continued to move southwards, and after several days of trekking, they finally left the jurisdiction of Zhanjie County. Qingzhen City was next to Zhanjie County, and there were many small towns under Qingzhen City. After walking for several more days, the team followed the official road to a small town under the jurisdiction of Qingzhen City.

Since many villagers were running out of food, someone suggested going to the town to purchase some food.

Zeng Zhengen realized that there was not much food left, so he decided to go to the town to buy some. Zeng's mother originally planned to let Zeng Siyuan go to the town as well, but since their family's remaining food was almost used up, they might run out of food in a few days if they didn't go to buy more.

"Mom, I can go alone. I will bring back food." Zeng Zhengen insisted on going alone. She hoped that Zeng Siyuan could stay to look after the family. If Zeng Siyuan also went, only the elderly, women and children would be left at home. If something unexpected happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

"But it's not safe for you to go to town alone!" Zeng's mother was worried about Zeng Zhengen going alone. Along the way, they also saw many disaster victims. Although these disaster victims did not cause any trouble, Zeng's mother was still uneasy. After all, once people are hungry, they may do anything.

"Mom, don't worry, I will be back soon and nothing will happen." Zeng Zhengen said firmly.

Finally, Zeng's mother was persuaded and agreed to let Zeng Zhengen go to the town. When the children learned that their mother was going to the town alone to buy things, they all looked uneasy and looked at Zeng Zhengen hesitantly.

"Mom, I want to stay by your side and protect you." said the second son Zhang Jiaqi.

"Yes, mother, I want to protect you too." Zhang Jiahu also said.

Although the eldest brother Zhang Jiajun did not say anything, his eager eyes revealed his mood.

Zeng Zhengen stroked the children's heads and said gently, "Just wait here with your grandmother. Mom will protect herself well. You don't have to worry."

As she spoke, she took out the cakes she had bought earlier from the wheelbarrow and coaxed the children: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my two brothers and wait for you to come back obediently."

Zhang Jiajun promised earnestly: "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of my two brothers and wait for you to come back."

Zeng Zhengen pinched Zhang Jiajun's cheek and said, "Okay, then I'll leave my two younger brothers to you."

Zhang Jiajun nodded heavily, as if he had received some important task.

Zeng Zhengen set off only after she had comforted the children. She did not go to the town with the other villagers because her mission was just an excuse and her real purpose was to look for items in the system mall.

While other villagers were still on the road, Zeng Zhengen had already arrived in the town. The town was not prosperous because of the famine, most of the shops were closed, only a few were open, and there were few pedestrians on the street.

After walking around a few streets, Zeng Zhengen found an empty alley and prepared to take out the items she bought from the system mall. Just as she walked into the alley, she suddenly heard a few conversations coming from inside.

"Fortunately we ran fast, otherwise we would have been captured and sent to the army." said a voice.

Then another voice responded: "Yes, natural disasters continue. God really doesn't want us to survive. We finally escaped from our hometown, but we were almost captured and sent into exile."

"No, we have to find a mountain to hide in, otherwise the soldiers will come here to arrest us sooner or later."
